PDF?No thanks.
Postscript please!
![Page 2: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
First, a little background on me...
(Might explain why I'm a little obsessed)
![Page 3: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

How do you preserve access to a Word95 .doc?
![Page 6: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How do you preserve access to the game 'Lemmings'?
![Page 7: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
You are affected by the format and medium in which the information
is in...
![Page 8: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Faithful representation?
Or migrated to the most useful or most expected form?
![Page 9: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

How does the reading experience differ from the book version?
![Page 16: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Aha! A book I can format-shift!
![Page 17: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A Citizen CBM-1000 till printer! (skip to the end....)
![Page 18: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
But how do you make a normal book by hand
from a digital file?
![Page 21: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

![Page 22: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Now, turn your document into a postscript file.
No PDFs beyond this point!
Eg “pdf2ps myfile.pdf mybetterfile.ps”
![Page 23: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why no PDFs?
The tools to manipulate them are not good or 'rare'.
And the horrific nature of how PDF stores text doesn't help either.
![Page 24: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
psselect -p_,_,-,_,_ infile.ps outfile.ps
![Page 25: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Again, from psutils – psbook
psbook -s16 infile.ps outfile.ps
![Page 26: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Print-time! – setup the printer to print two pages per A4 sheet and
duplex.
You may wish to combine the page pairs onto single sheets...
how? Again, psutils to the rescue!
![Page 27: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Ebooks... easier to carry, faster to get, looks like a book.
Will the make the book irrelevant?
![Page 40: Postscript, books and binding](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5549c107b4c905bc6d8b5349/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
No.
They make books and paper goods even more
special .

What should we do with the redundant
books then?

Would printing 'receipts' help visualise
the cost?
(credit to @davechallis for the idea)

And how about printing a twitter
timeline?
